Recap / Star Wars: The Clone Wars S4E21 "Brothers"

Edit Locked

A fallen enemy may rise again, but the reconciled one is truly vanquished.

Savage Opress is finally reaching the end of his quest to find his long lost brother.

Tropes:

Actually, I Am Him: Non-verbal and unintentional, but Savage initially assumes that the spider-like creature attacking him is a monster that did something with his brother. Then he gets a good look at the creature in the light of the glowing talisman and realises that it is his brother.

Big Brother Instinct: Savage angrily strangles Morley when he catches on to the fact that Morley was taking advantage of Maul's ruined state.

Death Glare: In a brief moment of sanity, Maul delivers a bone-chilling one to Savage at the end of the episode.

Maul: Revenge. I must have revenge...

Half the Man He Used to Be: Darth Maul, of course, is still missing his lower half after Obi-Wan sliced him in two during The Phantom Menace. He's attached himself to a mechanical spider-like collection of legs that carries him around.

Kick the Dog: Savage nearly strangles a waitress for no obvious reason, then essentially carjacks a ship pilot to get a ride to Lotho Minor, following up by throwing the pilot out of his own ship.

Kick the Son of a Bitch: Savage strangles Morley pretty brutally, but Morley, who had just let Savage (the latest of what's implied to be many victims) to be killed and devoured, is hardly a sympathetic victim.

Landfill Beyond the Stars: Lotho Minor joins Raxus Prime and Ord Mantell as another planet where the denizens of the galaxy far, far away dump all their garbage. It's home to a few locals, including a tribe of possibly mechanical beings and a talking snake that lures in victims for Darth Maul to kill, then eats the leftovers.

Missed Him by That Much: The episode begins with Savage choking a waitress in a diner, before running out following the trail from the amulet Mother Talzin gave him. Moments later, Anakin and Ahsoka enter in search of food that isn't standard rations. They even ask the waitress if something happened, but she says it's nothing to worry about.

Mood-Swinger: Darth Maul starts a sentence with one emotion and might express two or three others before it's over.

Mundane Utility: While wandering Maul's catacomb beneath the surface, Savage uses his lightsaber as a lantern.
